Yamaha BSD14ASG 5x14 Maple Shell Steve Gadd Signature Snare Drum

The Yamaha MSD-14ASG snare drum is one of a trio of snares that Steve uses to achieve that signature "Gadd" sound.

7-ply, 7mm Maple shell
The Maple shell cuts thru while maintining the warmth of a wood shell drum.

Black, 10-lug vintage wood hoops
The wood hoops warm the drum up and give you a crisp cross stick for ballads and Latin grooves. The snare side hoop is cut to a decagon (10 sided) shape to fit a standard snare stand.

35 degree bearing edges
Fattens up the sound of the drum.

3.5mm snare bed
The extra deep snare bed allows you to put less tension on the snares for a wet sound while reducing sympathetic vibration from the kick and toms.
